The Epiphone 150th Anniversary is being celebrated with four limited-edition models, the Crestwood Custom, Wilshire, Sheraton and Zephyr DeLuxe Regent.
Epiphone 150th Anniversary
Epiphone was founded almost 30 years before Gibson and is this year celebrating 150 years of making instruments and launching the limited edition Crestwood Custom, Wilshire, Sheraton and Zephyr DeLuxe Regent models.
Crestwood Custom
This Crestwood Custom has a solid mahogany body and a ’60s SlimTaper D-profile neck with an Indian laurel fretboard. The orange-coloured body is California Coral and will certainly turn heads.
